  Q: How to service and repair the wheel bearing in the rear suspension on Ford Focus?

  A:

  The repair procedure for wheel bearing in rear suspension starts with Brake Drum removal. Vehicle systems with anti-lock brakes require owners to eliminate and dispose of the wheel speed sensor ring. Begin by taking out any water seal carrier followed by the snap ring when they exist. A press fitted with suitable adapters will allow wheel bearing removal followed by discarding of the wheel Spindle's water seal. Support the brake drum on the wheel mounting face to avoid wheel stud damage before using suitable adapters for press installation of a new wheel bearing. The snap ring installation must be followed by placing a suitable press and Water Seal Carrier Installer with Adapter Handle to install the new water seal carrier. Anti-lock brake vehicles must have their wheel speed sensor ring kept free of debris because sensor failure can occur; install this sensor ring with the PTO Dust Flange Installer while protecting both the ring and eliminating magnetic surface exposure. The leading edge of the wheel spindle seal running surface requires cleaning with emery cloth or a suitable alternative to remove all pitting and corrosion before installing a new water seal along with its protective cap using the Seal Installer at a torque setting of 7 Nm (62 lb-in). During installation of the brake drum users must first remove the protective cap before placing it on its final position.

  Q: How to service and repair the wheel bearing in the front suspension on Ford Focus?

  A:

  Service and repair work on the wheel bearing of the front suspension starts with unfastening the wheel knuckle. You must remove the circlip which is mounted on the wheel knuckle. The wheel bearing should be discarded after detachment because the inner ring stays in the knuckle. The perfect tools for extracting wheel hub and outer bearing race are Bearing Puller with Adapter Handle and Wheel Hub Bearing Cup Installer. The Bearing Puller and Bushing Remover/Installer devices should be used to protect the hub because any hub damage requires replacement with a new unit. Heat should not be used for bearing inner ring extraction since it creates potential damage. The Bearing Puller and Bushing Remover/Installer should be used to extract the bearing inner ring from the wheel hub. A bearing cage attached to the inner ring should be inserted into the wheel knuckle to make it easier to remove the outer ring. The Wheel Hub Bearing Cup Installer along with the Adapter Handle and Wheel Speed Sensor Ring Installer can be used to extract the bearing outer ring from the wheel knuckle. When installing the wheel speed sensor ring make sure it stays clean and avoid touching metal elements because such contact may damage it. You must put the new wheel bearing inside the wheel knuckle by placing its black-colored wheel speed sensor ring at the sensor end location. First install the new wheel bearing through the Drive Pinion Bearing Cup Installer along with Adapter Handle then complete the procedure with the Wheel Hub Bearing Cup Installer and Adapter Handle to position the wheel hub inside the knuckle. Place the circlip in the wheel knuckle while ensuring it does not hinder the wheel speed sensor operation and preventing any potential damage. Then reinstall the wheel knuckle.
